Video: Disobedience – The rise of the global fossil fuel resistance


Disobedience is the story of the struggle to save the world.

Disobedience tells the David vs Goliath tales of front line leaders around the world risking life and limb in the fight for a liveable climate.

Interwoven with this riveting verité footage are the most renowned voices in the global conversation around social movements and climate justice for a series that is personal, passionate and powerful.

The stakes could not be higher, nor the missions more critical.

DISOBEDIENCE is a new film that shows the amazing things that regular people are willing to do when faced with the biggest crisis in human history. If politicians won’t do what it takes to break free from coal, oil and gas, we will.

While organisers across the world prepared for Break Free, a global wave of resistance to keep coal, oil and gas in the ground, PF Pictures sent crews to four of the biggest actions — in Canada, Germany, the Philippines and Turkey — to tell the story of how regular people everywhere are working to end the power and pollution of the fossil fuel industry.

The result is a 30 min. long, fast-paced film that tells the story of civil disobedience and the climate crisis like you’ve never seen before.

Premieres April 29, and streaming online on April 30 at: http://watchdisobedience.com
